Abstract

For intracranial electroencephalographic monitoring, stereotactically implanted depth electrodes are increasingly used at epilepsy centers around the world. To identify pearls and pitfalls from our experience with stereotactic Leksell (Elekta AB, Stockhom, Sweden) frame-based depth electrode implantation. An intraoperative video of the implantation technique was recorded. A detailed description and a video on how to implant depth electrodes using the stereotactic Leksell frame is provided. Neurosurgeons implanting depth electrodes for intracranial electroencephalographic monitoring might find the technical nuances and caveats described in this technical note useful for their practice.
